Wondering if anyone knows the following: what people have been paying for a 2007 CX-9 w/ touring w/ AWD. If there are only few 07 left will they still bargain on them? BTW... I'm looking in the metropolitan NY area...(Westchester/Putnam)or Western 1/2 of CT. Thanks for any information you can share. |

08 GT Platinum Gray with black lthr. Assist pkg Towing Pkg RSE cargo net compass/autodim mirror with homelink Roof Rails. Wheel locks MSRP = $40,668 (that number is according to dealer, carsdirect says MSRP is $40,150) Your price = 37,944 Now revised to $37,744 after another round of negotiating. I am going to offer $37,225 final and walk if they won't do it. Prices quoted include everything but tax title and tag (yes, even ad fees). Carsdirect, which includes ad fees in their "target price" has it at $37,891, and an invoice price of $37,041 (that price also includes ad fees I believe) Thing is, I don't WANT the towing package, so I am asking them to cut the cost of it in half. Does the towing package add weight or bulk to the car? Thanks

Replying to: kbedwards (Sep 27, 2007 8:12 pm) Are there other fees in this deal. (like a doc fee?) Did you account for the $500 difference in the MSRP (they could be padding the price)? Are you trading? Do not be in a hurry, unless you must have a new car soon because you do not already have a car. Contact another dealer and get another quote. At this point in the process, I would not worry about the towing package.

Replying to: seloo (Sep 28, 2007 2:27 am) Not trading, just sold my car last week, but I am borrowing one, so not in a hurry. It's not like I am without transp at this point. I have gone to other dealers, but they have not come close to this price. No hidden fees (that popped up earlier in the negotiation in the form of advertising fees  )- that number I wrote includes everything but tax, title and tag which has already been quoted to me from dealer at $575. I just want to know if the towing package changes the way the "normal" engine would behave - if it drives much differently than the one I test drove...i.e. does it provide more torque at the expense of...quickness? Does it add a lot of weight? No idea...but I am 95% sure I will never need to tow anything...don't even have a trailer! |

Replying to: seloo (Sep 28, 2007 2:27 am) Thanks for this - "Did you account for the $500 difference in the MSRP (they could be padding the price)?" We are now down to a difference of $500, and there it is. He quoted an MSRP that is almost exactly $500 above what Mazda site shows (amateur!)  And people wonder why car dealers get a bad rep? That is exactly why...mickey mouse tricks. Other than that, this guy has been very good to work with. I would still recommend him to others. Thanks again. Edit: Just got a quote in from another dealer for a nearly identical model, for a good price, so now I have a backup if this one doesn't work out.

Replying to: kbedwards (Sep 28, 2007 8:02 am) Now carefully check the numbers on the contract. (This is where extra fees, especially the doc fee gets added). In addition to the hitch system, the towing package usually gives you a heavy duty transmission and oil cooler. I few extra pounds, but not enough to make a big difference. |

Replying to: kbedwards (Sep 28, 2007 8:02 am) Web sites sometimes are off on MSRP because manufacturers sometimes change them during a model year, though generally, they're pretty close. Make sure that extra $500 isn't something like "dealer prep" or some other BS like that. But also, don't forget the shipping/delivery charge for the vehicle which is often $500-$750 depending on where you live and where the car is made or arrived. That is actually a normal charge that's not built into the price of the car and you're expected to pay it (because it DOES cost them to get the car delivered to the dealer from wherever it was made). One other thing, though... I'm all for haggling and getting the best price you can, but I ALSO understand as a businessman that the dealer has to make a living. I WANT them to make a living or else they're not going to be around to take care of servicing my vehicle. Some people will haggle over a couple hundred bucks. To me, it really isn't worth it. I mean, over 4 years, $480 is only $10 a month. Is it worth $10 a month to fight with a dealer to squeeze that last little bit? How long is it taking you to deal with it? Could you be doing something better with your time - like spending it with your family? Is it causing you stress? Is NOT spending that time with your family and the extra stress REALLY worth saving $10 a month? Check the MSRP sticker, find where the $500 is, and unless they're actively hiding something, just buy the vehicle and start enjoying it. For $10 a month, save yourself the headache.
